HDD thresholds.

Good afternoon.

I am seeking (A little more) advice.

I am looking to find a way to change the HDD thresholds. I have the option to change global thresholds, but not individual servers. I have done some searching online and found there is a way to do it, but from what I have read, I would need SAM 6.2 or later (we are using SAM 6.2.2)

Is it a feature that hasn't been enabled/installed/not available? Or am I being dim and simply not seeing it. thresholds..png

it really depends on how you want to setup the drives to alerts. The way we do them here is based on conditions setup in alert.

Below you can see we set conditions. if those conditions are meet then we get an alert on the drive. This is a universal alert where two conditions have to be met:

Volume percent of 95% reached and Space available less than 1GB. You can configure alerts to generated based on your organization needs.

Hi Shaun,

go to settings>manage nodes...select the node en detail and expand

Select the tick box para el* volume and 'edit properties'

'override Orion Capacity Thresholds and voila:

I am unsure, but I think that a filter is stopping .png files being sent as I sent a picture of what I receive on my screen.

When I try to change the individual properties on a node I only get the following threshold options:

CPU load

Memory Useage

Response Time

Percent packet loss.

I cannot see one that says ‘disk space’ or ‘drive capacity’

Hi Shaun,

That's why you have to go to the individual volume and not the node!

If you go to manage nodes and follow the steps above you will see it:

OMG I suck so badly. My sincere apologies for me being stupid. Why is it like that and not on the node itself? I can see why you would have it like that.

Ignore me. Your work here is done. Thank you for your assistance on thie.

Regards

Sorry about the lack of communication over the last few days, I am unsure where the time went! From my investigation I feel that, due to the design of solarwinds, I can't do what I would have liked to have done. It's not the end of the world.

I feel that there are some features that would be nice within solarwinds (I am writing a 'feature report as we speak)

Thank you for all of your time everyone, the help is very much appreciated.

Indeed Shaun, you are asking for what I have been asking for, for many years. The ability to set thresholds at the object level for granular alerting at the volume level without creating static triggers for groups of volumes - which is a boneheaded nightmare to manage. I have seen it done at a large company right now that I am trying to fix, but without granular settings there is no easy way with SW.

Just looking at the suggestions makes my stomach turn for such simple customization. Who has time to play around with SQL for such basic features? Especially when we manage THOUSANDS of volumes.

I'm not hating on SolarWinds, I'm just pointing out features that make the tool difficult for large companies, and for people that ask for what you are looking to do, which is totally easy in other tools.

Isn't it shocking what you can pick up from in two months? This doesn't even seem that complex anymore.
